He's in the west, he's a cowboy

Zhou Zheng took the train to Valentine alone.

He wanted to go out for a walk, but he felt a little restless. Of course, he was definitely not like Dutch and the others who liked to do things everywhere. He just liked to run around.

Taking photos was one thing, but he just felt that he should go out for a walk while he had nothing to do now. After all, he might not have time in the future.

Listening to the "rumbling" sound of the train in his ears and looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, Zhou Zheng gradually fell asleep leaning on the back of the train's chair.

It was an unusually solid sleep, perhaps because he was tired from running around in the snow-capped mountains for several days. Zhou Zheng slept until the flight attendant came over and shook him, and then he woke up in a daze.

"Sir, the ticket you bought is only enough for you to sit here." A flight attendant looked at Zhou Zheng with a cold face. Zhou Zheng rubbed his face to wake himself up, and then staggered off the train.

Valentine was still the same, and the familiar smell of cow, sheep, and urine instantly filled Zhou Zheng's nasal cavity. Zhou Zheng had just woken up and couldn't help but yawned twice when he got out of the car. The strong stench almost choked him to death.

"Oh my God...cough cough." Zhou Zheng almost vomited: "Strawberry Town is better. Let's leave quickly after getting the things."

Zhou Zheng originally planned to hang out here for a day or two, but considering the situation, he might as well run away.

What can I say? I am used to the fresh air of Chui Dog Ranch, but looking at the dirty look here is a bit unbearable.

Zhou Zheng lit a cigarette for himself. The strong smell of tobacco temporarily covered up the smell of cow dung, which made him feel relieved a little.

"Hello, is there a letter addressed to Tacitus Kilgore?" Zhou Zheng leaned against the window and asked the staff inside.

"Let me take a look, please wait a moment." The staff member rummaged through a large pile of letters for a long time, and then pulled out a crumpled envelope.

"Ha, this letter has been here for a long time. If you don't come back, it will be returned." The staff handed the envelope to Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng said thank you and opened it directly.

Sure enough, it was the photo sent by Albert. Zhou Zheng took out the photo and looked at it. It was a photo of him, Charles, and Arthur.

There was also a letter in the envelope, written by Albert, which said some kind words and said that he was going to take a walk around Saint-Denis recently and take pictures of some crocodiles so that they could have time to go around.

This letter was written at least two or three months ago, and I don’t know if he is still there.

Zhou Zheng put away the photos and letters and asked the staff: "When will the nearest bus to Wallace Station arrive?"

"Let me see." The staff opened the timetable, looked at it, and then said: "The nearest bus is at 8 pm, and there will be another one at noon tomorrow. Do you need a ticket?"

Zhou Zheng thought about it and decided to go back directly. He took out the money and handed it to the staff: "I need a ticket for the night."

It was only around three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still five hours left. Zhou Zheng walked out of the post office and planned to go to the pub to spend some time.

He did not go to the big tavern in the center of the town, but to the tavern near the post office. There were many gamblers in the big tavern, which was a bit too noisy.

As soon as Zhou Zheng walked to the door, he heard the sound of quarreling coming from inside. He frowned. He came here for peace and quiet. It was not a good situation to have someone quarreling.

He turned around to leave, but found that the sound of the argument sounded familiar.

"Damn it, I should just blow your head to pieces with a bottle of wine. Why are you so stupid!!!" This was a woman's voice, and she was a very tough woman.

"How did I know this was going to happen, I just...oh my god, why is this happening." This was a man, and a young man.

Zhou Zheng opened the door with a strange look and went in. Sure enough, the young man and woman who were quarreling were people he knew.

"Hey, Sean, Karen! Why are you two here?" Zhou Zheng stood at the door of the pub and shouted in surprise.

"Oh, my God, look who this is!" Sean and Karen were equally surprised. Sean shouted in a mellow tone. He rushed directly in front of Zhou Zheng and danced: "Hey brother, you Why are you here?"

"I'm here to get something, drink some wine and wait for the bus. What about you two, why are you... um... quarreling here?" Zhou Zheng asked curiously, looking at the two people's embarrassment.

"Oh forget it, you can't figure out what this idiot did?" Karen said, pointing to Sean's nose.

"Hey, honey, can you give me some face?" Sean waved his hands, hoping Karen wouldn't tell his embarrassing story.

"I'm going to say it!" Karen opened his hand directly and continued to say aggressively: "This guy's brain is full of shit. He played cards with others and was deceived completely. All our money was stolen by him. Gamble it all.”

"I will get the money back, please stop talking!" Sean shouted angrily.

"Wait a minute and tell me slowly. What's going on? Didn't you say you were going to the countryside to find a place to live a stable life?" Zhou Zheng interrupted the two of them. He sat directly on a wine table and picked up a bottle. I drank two sips of beer.

"Calm down, everyone. Arguing can't solve anything." Zhou Zheng poured a glass of wine for each of them. They both sighed at the same time and sat across from Zhou Zheng.

"Let me tell you." Sean took a big sip of beer, and then slowly told Zhou Zheng what happened during this period: "We did find a farm in the countryside and plan to live peacefully there. but......"

"But it's so difficult. We didn't expect life to be so complicated. Those chickens, ducks, and cows are simply harder than going to the battlefield, and the money is flowing like water. Soon we won't have enough money." Sean sighed. With a tone, he slammed the wine bottle on the table: "Later, we wanted to come here to see if we could find something to do."

"The money we shared was a lot of money. What did you do? How could it be enough so quickly?" Zhou Zheng asked curiously. The money they shared was indeed not a huge amount of money, but it wouldn't be enough for a month or two. It’s all spent. Did they buy a big ranch like themselves?

"Ahem... Anyway, the money will be used quickly, it's not important." Sean coughed twice and quickly continued: "Then we came to Valentine..."

"You're too embarrassed to talk to me." Karen didn't tolerate him, so she interrupted him directly and said to Zhou Zheng: "He was standing there at Flat Neck, was tricked, bought a bunch of broken wood, and... Lost all our money."

"Oh, stop talking, it's so embarrassing." Sean wailed, covering his face and crying: "I was obviously very careful, but that night..."

"Then that night a beautiful girl sat next to you and poured you two bottles of wine, and you forgot everything." Karen said viciously.
